I 95 road service tow truck

[philacop]

Just saw one of those I believe contracted road service PennDot tow trucks on Bartrum Ave and it had a new tri band type antenna mounted on roof ??
Maybe they are on the STARNET system now ?

Service patrol vehicles have started showing up on the PennDOT TCC talkgroups for District 6. I've not paid close attention, but I did hear a unit calling in a disable on 76 this week.

Yes they have a talk group on the state system they always had access to the state radios but before it was thru the tow companies dispatcher as the trucks are private contractors not actually PennDot staff. But now it is direct communications
